| I couldn't believe how it was so quick. It's my first time to have a calendula seed. Here is what I did 2. Put the seeds 1/4" deep then covered it again with dirt 3. wrapped the pot with a rope light 4. I moisten it every 10 hours. After 3 days, I saw a sprout! |

| Just an update folks about my calendula. I saw flower buds today. I direct sowed all my calendula seeds. They were very easy to grow similar to cosmos. Cleome was a bit more challenging but my experiment produced 99% germination. Anyways, here is my calendula flower bud. :)
